JSAE organizes biannual congresses in the spring and autumn every year. These congresses offer engineers opportunities to report their latest research achievements related to automotive and peripheral technology. They consist of the following events;

2010 Annual Congress (Spring)   2010 Annual Congress (Autumn)

Researchers of automakers, parts makers, and universities report their latest research achievements in this program. Such presentations total approximately 400 and 300 at the Annual Spring and Autumn Congresses, respectively.

At the Spring Congresses, we invite applications for technical paper presentations under two categories, "Technical Sessions in General" and "Organized Technical Sessions" which consist of presentations on special themes set by respective JSAE Technical Committees.

【 Technical Papers On Sale 】
All copies of presentations (Technical Papers - "Proceedings") are available at the book store located during the Congress. Also past presentations are available at our web store BookPark

【 Simultaneous Contributions to the JSAE Transactions 】
"JSAE Transactions" is the compilation of excellent papers published six times a year. Authors can use their papers for the Annual Congresses to make contributions to the JSAE Transactions.

The Center of the Automotive Technology for Information Exchange Between Exhibitors and Visitors (Admission Free) The Automotive Engineering Exposition has achieved great progress over the years. It has come to attract public attention as the only exposition of technology in Japan where visitors can "view, touch, and experience" the latest automotive technology.
